In today's Empire Magazine online review of BOTFA:

Pelennor Fields was a noble struggle between light and darkness, observed from on high amidst the spires of Minas Tirith. This, by contrast, is a dirty barroom brawl; every hack, stab and gouge felt physically from deep within the scrum. From the moment elven warriors vault the dwarven phalanx to eviscerate onrushing orcs, the Bad Taste director revels in carnage with gleeful invention. Trolls act as mobile siege engines, ballistas raining death from their shoulders, walls collapsing before bipedal battering rams. A raging, elk-mounted Thranduil (Lee Pace) deals antler-assisted decapitation, while dwarven firebrand Dain (a bafflingly CG Billy Connolly) spouts expletives from the back of an armoured war pig. When Thorin (Richard Armitage) finally leads the charge from the gates of Erebor, the glorious rush of battle met is triumphant euphoria.
